Now that we all know what the prospects for MOS are i.e. damn good, thought I'd get a new thread going and just highlight MOS' attractions for any new investors.

Key highlights:

* Significant progress made, rationalisation programme almost complete

* Acquisitions integrated well

* International marketing network established

* Record order books, enquiry levels high, several new customers won

* Recent Director buys

From the Chairman's statement:

Outlook

Over the past year the management team has extended the product range, put in
place in-house manufacturing, rationalised the existing business and greatly
expanded the marketing effort, opening up significant new markets to MOS
products. Once the acquisitions have been fully integrated MOS will offer a
wider product range to a broader market and have a much reduced cost base. We
have record order books, we have attracted major new customers and we are
targeting new markets, worldwide. Overall, we have made good progress and the
outlook remains extremely positive.

Trading Update

MOS International PLC ('MOS'), the oilfield services company, announces that
trading is in line with market expectations. TURNOVER FOR THE YEAR TO 31st MARCH 2005 IS EXPECTED TO BE CIRCA 10M COMPARED WITH 1.05M IN THE YEAR TO 31st MARCH 2004.

MOS currently has an order book in excess of 7m for delivery prior to the year
end.

The recent acquisitions have integrated well, the rationalisation programme at
MOS is almost complete and that at Ansell Jones will be completed in this
financial year.

Tender and enquiry levels remain high and the Board is positive regarding the
future. Significant progress has been made and the business is well on the road
to recovery, with turnover forecast to show a further considerable increase, in
the next financial year.

On a turnover of 10million with a profit of say 1million, this company is on a P/E ratio of just 8 (market cap being around 8million at present). This company has been overlooked by the institutions and investors alike and is due a big re-rating soon IMHO. DYOR as usual.

Chad.

Good to see volume picking up on good news!!

...and max size reducing too. 1M 2weeks ago, 500k last week 345k yesterday, 153k lunch today. rigzone.com worth a look re CNOOC article & Gulf of Mexico where Patriot have repeat servicing business...

just added 1.55m+, but hasn`t shown up yet, watch out for the crash now--lol!!!!

...how on earth did you get that many?!! must have a very good broker!! CFD's perhaps?? 3rd highest by volume traded on LSE today. SP SHOULD (never know with MOS!) rise this pm. Think the news flow is only just beginning...Nexen & CNOOC deals are the biggies...hopefully something by end of month.

No Natwest Broker line on a `fill or kill`, seemed to phase them a bit tho`, but I eventually got it @0.64p after chasing them on the ` phone- fill or kill shouldn`t take the 15 mins. to confirm as this one took.
checked on VirtX too, not on there, maybe it will turn up later,

ahah, there she blows, a late entry,

...more +ve sector news. EXR (Expro) results today.
(Owl does not own Expro).

BETER AND BETTER.

Great news guys. Glad I topped up yesterday. Looks like I was just in time. All we need now is a bit of momentum.

...good sized 2.5M block trades after the bell. Should show momentum either tomorrow or (more likely) Monday.

Good to see the action today. Helpful posts. The block sales are T so presumably balancing the books exercises. Great to see confirmation of forecast turnover. As Owl says so wisely, strong relationship between t/o and profits and reorganisation costs chould all be in last year.

Looking for clarification of gromore's Patriot comments. Do we have any valuation of these shares, given that MOI are majority holders? What is significance of separate float; presumably MOI still benefit from consolidation of results?

Eric

Eric,
Please see quote below for Patriot. Currently valued at $2 with 4,000,000 shares having been subscribed to by 10 investors/directors. A futher 24.4million available for subscription. Potential value $56.8 million.
Significance: Moi is represented in the US market by PMHH and far more likely to gain US contracts. Splendid acquisition by MOI for only 18million MOI shares(see below) and already worth $5.76million dollars to MOI

MOI's share value in PMHH alone is about to dwarf MOI's current Market Cap not to mention the likelyhood of substantial orders. There will be cash injections into Moi's coffers as it reduces its holding in PMHH to 50%.

this MUST be re-rated soon, to see hundred thousand share deals going through for a few hundred quid is most offputting- min. one for ten split needed-NOW

not yet thanks---I want to accumulate!!

whoever is selling now must have a big cashflow problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

picked up a few more today!

I heard somewhere that we should get some more news this month. Has anyone been in touch with Bankside Consultants lately?

Moneyplus,

I was tipped these recently and done a bit of my own research - but would you pay up to? And what are your reasonable expectations in the short term?

I'm hoping for 2p by Xmas-then next set of results should point the way. if the company has really turned around it should head back towards former prices which were much higher. Only my opinion though we really need the experts to look over this one. my last buy was 0.63 so will be happy to see it break through 1p. cheers MP

I'm hoping for 2p AT LEAST when results are published.
